Citizen Fish - Sacred Cows lyrics

Headlines all went mad cow disease sensation Bseized by panic in a big meat-eating nation They told us beef was safe then told us not to eat it Got banned from exportation but not from the supermarket Before someone else died But the people they all cried 'We need our meat and the money it makes' You can't get a better bit of profit on your plate Frightening to see how money and tradition Can over-ride the facts and force a position Now stickers in four-wheeled vehicles say 'I'm proud to eat beef' instead of 'My other car's polluting as well' So much that it's f**ing up the food chain, hell What's that taste? It's animal waste The look on your face says 'What's that smell?' It's the stink of dead flesh It's the sunday best And other sacred cows But they've all gone mad now Well you'd be pretty mad too If what happened to cows happened to you Having your children taken away Forced to stand in a pen each day Fed the sh** from other dead things Then chopped to bits... We all suggest you go vegetarian Then all these problems are all sorted out!
